I'm sorry that you conspiracy theorists have your delusions, but it was a simple redirect exploit. You can say it was the government if you want, but our users were sent to a site with a message by Anonymous. We stopped it as soon as we could, although it did last many hours. Many VBulletin sites were hit that day at the same time. Our Admin is not incompetent, we do back-ups daily. As it happened, the hack occurred during a back-up procedure and that screwed things up. Rollie went back 3 weeks as a precaution, because some sites had the redirect code dormant for some time. We got the site back up as best as we could, and have been trying to restore everything and fix the glitches. It's a shame that some still have to criticize everything.
